PROTEST IS FILED
TO SURVEYORS REPORT.
Matter to be Threshed Out Before
the Secretary of State .
The boaj’d of county commission
ers of Gwinnett county are hard to
satisfy when it comes to county
lines After several surveys a repres
entative of the state was sent to
make a survey. Now the Gwinnett
I'ommUd.caners have filed a protest
With the secretary of state to the
rejxbrt of the survey made by Prof.
M. Straham.
The board contends that the sur
or did not begin at the point
designated in the act creating the
county of Barrow, and by the sur
vey Gwinnett county loses something
Ike eight square milts of territory
Prof. Straham started at the negro
camp ground, some three and a half
miles from the corner of Jackson,
Hall and Gwinnett, the point where
he should have begun.
It wouldi be real interesting for
someone to point out a common cor
ner of Jackson,, Hall and Gwinnett.
Prof. Staham, no doubt, followed
the map of Barrow county which
ehibited and explained to the law
makers when they gave the state’s
consent to put Barrow' on the map.
Dear old Gwinnett should take
things easy. She is a grand old
county yet, and the part she contrib
uted to tihe making of Barrow is
highly appreciated.
HILL FAMILY REUNION.
Kinfolk Gather at Old Hometead and
Enjoy Spread Under Shade of
Massive Oaks.
The Hill family reunion was held
last Wednesday, August 11, at the old
homestead near Winder. It was at
this, place thal the present ordinary of
Barrow county first saw the light of
day.
The reunion occurs on same date
each year, and the hosts of relatives
of Aunt Camraie Hill are invited to
gather and partake of a feast spread
in the spacious oak grove in front of
the home.
The family is a branch of the fa
mous Camp sisters, to whom few peo
ple in Barrowi county cannot trace re
lationship either by consanguinity or
affinity. It has been said that if the
ordinary will have the roads worked
in front of the homes of his- relatives
Barrow will have the most uniformly
worked roads of any county in the
state.
With one exception the reunion
this year was a repetition of the an
nual occasion. The kinspeople came
from far and near and there were
merry faces and hearty handshaking
around the old home.
Then dinner was served. There was
barbecued pig, barbecued kid, berbe
cued mutton, hash, chicken fried and
chicken baked, lemon pies, apple pies,
pound cake, jellies and angel food.
But ask what they did not serve, and
we could not tell you. They may
have had ’possum and taters on that
groaning table. We do not know. It
was a feast.
And the exception. It has been
the custom of Mr. G. W. Smith since
the inception of the occasion to take
his seat at the head of the table and
|ati the pig’s tail. This year, after
the blessing had been asked and* Mr.
Smith had taken, his seat at the ta
ble, it was discovered that the pig V-i
tail was gone. When preparations
were betng made to return home it
was found in the coat pocket of Es
quire AQonzo Williams, tax collector
of Barrowi county. Probably Mr.
Williams can explain.
